Final Snag Golf!

Today we had our final Snag Golf lesson with Shannon and this time we got to use those letters we had to remember from last week to hit really big shots. We had to remember Y for the shape our arms and club made when we were pointing it at the ball and then the letter L for the shape our arms and club made when we were swinging the club through to hit the ball harder.

We had so much fun and we practiced hitting shots to the sticky target that our partner was holding first. We got to shout SNAG if we got it stuck to the yellow or red parts of the target. Look at Limiteti catching the ball in this photo Miss Walters took below!

Then we dressed Jazer up in the sticky suit! We called him Snag Man! We all got to have a turn at aiming our ball to hit Jazer's velcro suit and try and hit the target. Don't worry, though - it was padded so he didn't get hurt! He had a big smile and thought it was great!

Then the best bit happened at the end of our lesson. We got to hit some really far shots! We had to hit the ball halfway across the field to the flag target where our partner was stood. It was really hard. Even Miss Walters wasn't very good at it! Tyra tried her best and you can see her attempts in the video below.

At the end we helped Shannon tidy up the equipment and said a big thank you to her. We made and signed a big golf ball card and told her that she took the gold medal for being the best golf coach ever!

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!

Hands together, feet together, toes pointing at the ball, arms straight and TICK TOCK LIKE A CLOCK!

Jessica is showing us the 5 things you need to remember to play golf successfully!

Today we had Snag Golf again and we used a tunnel and cones to practice our aiming skills. We had to set up our mini golf course with the flag post, hoops and the sticky targets as our tunnel. We practiced shooting and aiming the ball at the flag post through the tunnel and into cones. When we got it to land in the hoop we shouted SNAG! 

Jazer and Peni are hitting the tennis balls into the cones to practice their aiming skills!

While doing this we also had to remember everything from last week about having our hands together, feet together, toes pointing at the ball, arms straight and our new skill TICK TOCK LIKE A CLOCK!

We also had to make sure that we weren't too close to the ball or else it would be cheating and it would unfair to the other groups we were competing against.

Nowar is practicing his aim and the ball is about to hit the yellow target so he has to shout SNAG! What should he do with his feet?

By Room 6.

Great Golfers!

Every Thursday morning for the rest of this term, Room 6 is having special PE lessons with Shannon to teach us how to play golf!

We are very lucky to have these lovely lessons and Miss Walters is going to take some photos and videos each week while we have our special lessons - perhaps we might find New Zealand's next golfing superstar in our class?

See if you can spot the important things to remember when you're learning to play golf from some of our photos!

Some of our favourite things were hitting the tennis ball with a golf club so they stuck to the sticky target. We got to shout 'SNAG' when the ball hit the yellow target that looked like a bullseye. We also rolled the ball into a yellow hoop! Then we use a sticky flag target and we had to try and roll the ball onto the sticky flag target and get 2 points!

Jazer's favourite part was the challenge where we had to get seven 'SNAG's and then do our best dance moves, push ups or star jumps. Peni even challenged Shannon to do five push ups and everyone laughed together!
